- Synopsis
- An alcoholic father. A desperate mother. Shipped to
  an orphanage, stripped of his name, and sexually
  assaulted, the young boy escapes to the streets and a
  life of petty crime.
  
  Longing to be somebody, the Mafia fills the void and he’s left holding the bag for an aborted heist and sent to prison. The abuse of his past, a decade of confinement, and fear of the Mafia take their psychological toll.
  
  Upon release from prison, love unexpectedly comes his way until a mafioso soldier squeezes himself into the mix. Feeling betrayed, “Mr. Unknown” suffers a psychotic break, ushering in Dr. Sam—a visionary
  therapist who caringly puts his client on the road to recovery, telling him, “You can never get the ‘old’ life back. You don’t want the old life back. But
  you can get a new life.”
  
  Reasserting its mental control, the Mafia kills an older brother, throwing Mr. Unknown into an emotional
  tailspin. Will he seek retribution or find forgiveness? With his brother’s killer lying comatose right before him,
  will he exact his revenge? Or will the real Mr. Unknown—Harold Johnson— step out of the dark shadows of his past into the brilliant, healing light of a new day?
